SIR GKORGE YEARDLEY OR YARDLEY, GOVERNOR
AND CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, AND
TEMPERANCE, LADY YEARDLEY, AND
SOME OF THEIR DESCENDANTS.
BY THOMAS TEACKLE Ul'SHUK, NASSAWADOX, NORTHAMPTON
COUNTY, VIKGINIA.
J 1385137
Sir Georg-e Yeardley was one of the ablest and most pop-
ular of Virginia's Colonial Governors. His public acts are mat-
ters of history, and as many of them have been published and
commented upon in several magazines during the past few
years, I shall confine myself in this article to giving a list of
as many of his descendants as the limited time at my disposal
has allowed me to trace. If simply a matter of mentioning
those who have borne Yeardley as a surname my list would be
short and easy of compilation, for the name became extinct in
his line of descendants, in the fourth generation, and only one
son and one grandson lived to have issue, and the surviving
children of the latter were three daughters, neither of whom
married a Yeardley, and after their marriage the nameof Yeard-
ley, except as a baptismal name, disappeared from Virginia so
far as I have discovered. It is only recently that the maiden
nameof Temperance, Lady Yeardley, has again become known
in this country. For many years, historians and genealogists
have sought it in vain. She came to Virginia in the "Falcon."
Capt. Nelson Martin, Master, in U)0<) (See Hotten's Original
List of Immigrants, February 1(>. 16.^2, and also N. E. Hist.,
and Gen. Reg. Vol. xxx. p. 415^ and was Temperance West
when she married Sir George. Her parentage is still iini!,-
cided.
Ralph Yeardley, a brother of Sir George, was granted
letters of administration upon the estates of Sir George and
Temperance, in behalf of Elizabeth, Argall, and Francis
Yardley, "lawful and legitimate children of Dame Temperance
Yardley (alias West. V She survived him but a short time,
for, although the Executrix of his estate, she had not appar-
ently had time to qualify as such, and died intestate. (See
American Historical Magazine, Vol. I., p. 101, January
No., 1896.)
Although the name of Yeardley became extinct upon the
marriage of their three great-granddaughters, yet the num-
ber of their descendants is legion and to trace them all will
require considerable time and labor. Very many alliances
have added new names to the list of their descendants, which
will doubtless reach thousands, and very many persons in
various parts of the United States, to-day, are lineal descend-
ants of this distinguished pair, some of whom are probably ig-
norant of the fact.
Sir George Yeardley was born between 1577 and 1580.
(See Va. Mag. of Hist, and Biog.. Vol. II., 154). They were
married about 1618 ( See Brown's Genesis of the U. S., p. 1065),
and he died in Nov. 1627.
There are two depositions and subsequent orders in the
Northampton County Virginia Records, indicating that Tem-
perance was not Sir George's first wife, but that she was the
mother of his children is shown above.
1. Elizabeth Yeardley'. The Coiirt Records of Virginia
and other authorities examined, mention nothing of her. If
she ever married, she probably did not live in America, or some
trace of her descendants would have been found.

mentioned, married Jane and came from Kansclough, near Leake, in the

2. Colonel Argall Yeardley, the eldest son and heir of
Sir George and Temperance, was born about 1621 and married
first about 1640; the name of his first wife is at present un-
known. She died in 1648. In 1644, during a visit to Europe.

June he summoned the first Legislative Assembly that ever assembled in America, to
meet at Jamestown on July 3D, 1619. (Neil's Va. Vetusta p. 110: Hening I. p 119. 121

he married Ann Custis,' a daughter of John and Joane Custis,
who were then living- in Rotterdam, but were born in England,
and not in Ireland as stated by Bishop Meade.-^
He left children as follows: a. Argall; b. Edmund;
c. Rose; d. Henry; e. Francis. The names of Henry
and Edmund disappear from the records on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia after 1657 — they were then only boys. No trace
of them or any of their descendents has been found, and they
probably died without issue. The Colonel was a very promi-
nent man. He was a member of the Council of State Dec. 20,
1643, and was appointed Commander of "Accomac" (North-
ampton), then comprising the whole of the Eastern Shore of
Virginia, June 30, 1642, by Sir William Berkeley. (See Vol.
II., p. 84, 88 and 172, Northampton County Records). He
died intestate.
3. Captain Francis Yeardley, youngest son of Sir George
and Temperance (West) Yeardley, was a brave and dashing
officer. He and also Col. Argall Yeardley, his brother, sided
with the Royalists during the parliamentary troubles in Eng-
land and openly expressed their sentiments, thereby getting
into difBculties. Oace during an argument with Captain
Richard Ingle concerning the King and parliament, Ihgle
being a pronounced Cromwellite, the argument becoming too
warm for Ingle's temper, he left the cabin of his ship and go-
ing down the hold, returned to the deck with a pole axe and
cutlass.
"For whom do you wait?" said Col. Argall Yeardley.
"For my brother? I arrest you in the name of the King."
"If you had said in the name of the King and Parliament,

After the death of Col. Argall Yardley, his widow married John Wilcox, (See will of
John Wilcox, May 25, 1662, Northampton Co. Records; also Deed of Gift of Anna
Wilcox, widow, 7 & 8 p. 15, to her two sons Henry and Edmond Yardlej-. etc.).
Col. Arjrall Yardley died in 1655 {See Brown's Genesis of the U. S., p. 1005, which is
corroborated by Northampton County Records). See Griffin Clay Callahan's article in
the Richmond Times of January 21st, 1895. which was subsequently republished in a
number of newspapers; See \Vm. and Mary Quarterly, Vol. III., p. 261; Meade, Vol. 1.,
p. 263; G. W. F. Custis' Reminiscences, etc. ("Custis Genealojfy" will shortly be pre-
pared, embody injr considerable orig-inal historical and jjcnealotrical matter heretofore
unpublished). See ".\jrreement between John Custis and Frances (Parke) Custis, his
Wile" in Va. Mag-., July 1896, paire 64.

I would have obeyed." said Injfle. and ran at Col. Yeai'dley witli
the pole axe in his hand and thrust his cutlass at his breast as
though he would pierce his body, and ordered all present to
leave his ship.
"Wait until he comes on shore," said the Colonel to Cap-
tain Francis Yeardley; and they, together with a few of those
present, left the ship, which immediately hoisted anchor and
sailed for Maryland, carrying about twenty of the colonists
away. Ingle there bragged that he
"Had 'steazed' the Commander of Northampton and his
brother over the side of his ship."
His glory was short-lived, he was captured, sent an hum-
ble letter of apology to Col. and Capt. Yeardley, returned all
the colonists he had taken away, and was sent a prisoner to
James City for trial before the Governor and Council. His
next appearance on the Northampton County Records was as
a witness to a legal document in London. (See Vol. II.,
Northampton County Records, in 1645.)
Captain Francis Yeardley was appointed Captain of Mili-
tia during the Indian scare on the Eastern Shore; although
scarcely 21 years of age, the Governor and Council, as well as
the Court in Northampton and the inhabitants generally held
him high in their esteem and placed great confidence upon his
bravery and ability. He married Sarah Offley, of London,
whose mother was a Miss Harris, a sister of Alexander Harris,
of Town Hill, (See E.\tract from will of Captain Adam
Thorowgood, Virginia Carolorum. p. 134V She was first
the wife of Capt. Adam Thorowgood and bore him four chil-
dren: Adam, who became Lt. Colonel; Ann, who married Job
Chandler of Maryland; Sarah who also married a Maryland
gentleman; and Elizabeth, who married John Michael, Sr., a
member of the Board of Commissioners of Northampton
County, Virginia. Her first husband died before August 15,
1642, (See Records of Lower Norfolk, Vol. I., D. W. & C.,p. 6.)
and she soon afterwards married Capt. John Gookin, but he
died without issue, so far as is known. About 1645, she mar-
ried her third husband, Capt Francis Yeardley, who is after-
wards mentioned as Col. Francis Yeardley. If he left issue
they have not been traced by the writer. Brown's Genesis of
the United States, says that it is not believed he left issue.

She died in 1657. (See William and Mary Quarterly Magfa-
zine, Vol. IV., No. 3, page 170.)
PVom the foregoing- it appears that of the three children
of Sir George and Temperance (West) Yeardley, only Colonel
Argall Yeardley left issue to perpetuate the name. Of the five
children of Col. Argall Yeardley, above mentioned, Edmund
and Henry died apparently without issue, leaving the descend-
ants: Argall Yeardley, who married Sarah Michael;* Rose
Yeardley, who married, first, Thomas Ryding, second, Robert
Peale; and Frances Yeardley, who married Lt. Col. Adam
Thorowgood.^
A. Captain Argall Yeardley, the eldest son and heir of
Col. Argall Yeardley, married Sarah Michael, the eldest
daughter of John Michael, Sr., of the Commission of North-
ampton, and Elizabeth Thorowgood, his wife.' They were
4. The Michael family came from Graft. Holland, but were supposed lo be origi-
iially from England. Captain John Michael was the first of the family who came to
the Kasteru Shore of Virgrinia. He was prominent colonist and a man of wealth. The
Records of Northampton County, Virginia, mention his name a number of times in
ways indicating his prominence. He was a Commissioner of Accomac; a Justice of the
Peace, etc.. 1665, and subsequent dates, (Vol. IX., p. 3, Northampton County Virg-inia
Records). He came to Virg-inia from Graft, Holland, having- been a merchant at that
place; see agreement between the "Master of the Farewell and Rowd — from Amster-
dam of the one part, and John Johnson and John Makule, botli of Graft, of ye otlier.

of Capt. Adam Thorogood and Sarah Offley, and niece of Sir John Thorogood, of Ken-
sington. (See extract of will of Adam Tliorowgood, quoted in Va. Carolorum, p. 1.34.

manhood. (See deed of partition Vol. XII., p. 201, North-
ampton Co. Records). He was High Sheriff of Northampton
at the time of his death, which occurred in 1682. He, like his
father, left no will on record on the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia. After the death of her first husband, Sarah (Michael)
Yeardley married John Watts, and had a son John Watts,
and subsequently married Thomas Maddox, (See will of Sarah

and cattle— among the cattle being 107 go.ats. (Bruce Economic Hist, of Va.. Vol. U.,
p 299; Norfolk Co. Records 1642-3, p. 38). His will is d.ated February 17, 163'M0, and
probated April 27, 1640. Among other items is this: "My will and desire is that my
beloved friend Captain Thomas Willoughbie and Mr. Henry Seawell here in Virginia,

She, therefore, must have been a child of his first wife, as we
ma}' suppose she was more than 12 or 13 years old when she
married. How long Thomas Ryding lived, or whether he left
issue, I am uninformed. He lived near Nassawadox, in North-
ampton Co., Va., and probabl}' died there; and as no mention
of any of her children either by him or by Robert Peak, her
second husband, have been seen by your Correspondent, upon
the Eastern Shore Records, we will, for the present, have to
leave the matter in doubt. She had been sometime the wife
of Peale on September 30th, 1684. (See Vol. II.. D. .W. & C,
p. 106, 207, Northampton Co. Va., Records. )
('. Frances Yeardley, youngest daughter of Col. Argall
Yeardley, married Lt. Col. Adam Thorogood, eldest son and
heir of Capt. Adam and Sarah (Offley) Thorogood, previously
mentioned. (See Note 4. ) They lived at Lynnhaven Bay in
Norfolk Co., Virginia, where he became prominent, was Bur-
gess for the County in 1666, and Justice in 1669. He died in
1685. (See his will. Vol. IV., p. 217, Lower Norfolk Co.
Records.) They had issue:
Adam (afterward Col. Adam), who married Mary Mosely, and die<l
in 1719, .s. p.

William (afterwards Capt. William), married Patience . and

George Harmanson. They lived at the home place called
"Yeardley." He died in 1734. (See his will, Vol. XVIII.,
p. 123, Northampton Co. , Va. , Records. ) Their children were :
1. Arg-all Harmanson, who married Barbara , and left two

We have now followed out the Yeardley name in Virginia
as a family name until it became extinct. The following will
give the lines of descent of such of the descendants of Sir
George and Lady Yeardley, as have been either traced by me
or placed at my service. That this list will be very far from
complete may be easily imagined.
ELIZABETH YARDLEY AND SOME OF HEK DE-
SCENDANTS.
n.
Elizabeth Yardley married Col. George Harmanson. The
Hanntuison family is a very old and highly respected one on
the Eastern Shore. Its members have allied with the best
families always, and the traditional "black sheep" has appeared
conspicuous by its absence. The family of Dr. Charles Har-
manson, of Onancock, Va., are the sole representatives of the
name here now so far as I know. Thomas Harmanson, the
first of the name on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, was a
German, born in the Dominion of Brandenburg, and of the
Protestant religion. His naturalization papers were signed
by Howard, Lord Eftinghara, 8th of June, 1680, and recorded
24th October, 1684, (Vol. 1680 to 1692, No. 11, Northampton
Co. Records.) His first wife is believed to have been an Elk-
ington, a sister of Ann Elkington, who was the first wife of
Capt. John Savage. His widow, Elizabeth, was "the heir
and executrix of John Daniel." He died in 1690. (Vol. II.
D. W. & C. p. 278, Northampton Co. Records).
Col. George Harmanson was a lineal descendant of old
Thomas. By his marriage to Elizabeth Yardley he acquired
considerable property, in addition to his own, and purchased
— n—
other land. He survived his wife and in his will mentions
his son Arg'all and Argali's wife Barbara, and g'randsons,
Benjamin and Georg-e Harman^on, sons of Arg-all and Barbara.
He also mentions his daughters, Margaret, the wife of Arthur
Robins; Bridget, the wife of Littleton Eyre; Isabel, who
married a Harmanson; Leshe (Alicia) wife of Hillary Stringer;
Rose and Henrietta, and his graniidaughter Sarah Har-
manson, who was a daughter of Isabel, and grandson, Ken-
dall Harmanson, (who subsequently appears to have been a
son of Isabel, although it is not so stated in his will. ) They
had:

1. Marie Louise Doran, born September 16. 1877.
12. Joseph I. Doi'an, a proniinenl lawyer of Philadelphia, and for many years past
associated in practice with Hon. ,Tohn C. Bullitt, was born in Philadelphia, January 17,
1844. He received his preliminary education in private schools, principally that of John
W. Faires, \>y whom he was prepared to enter the University of Pennsylvania. He re-
mained, however, at the University but a short time, add in the fall of 1860 he entered
the office of John C. Bujlilt, first as a clerk, then as a student of law. He was admitted
to the bar in April, 1865. Two years subsequently he was admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Mr. Doran's practice has been confined to that of
railroad and g-eneral corporation law. He is Consulting- Counsel of many corporations,
and has been General Solicitor of the Norfolk & Western Kailroad since the organiza-
tion of that company. Like his honored father, he has devoted himself with great zeal
and earnestness to his chosen profession, and his business, during his many years of
busy practice, has grown to large, laborious and exacting proportions. Preserving his
habits of industry, study, and close ai)plication, he has also brought to the discharge of
the manifold duties of his calling, a clear and conscientious conception of every obliga-
tion, and an ability as unquestioned in degree as it has been prolific in emolument.
From about 18S0 he has been closely identified with the development — which started at
that time, and which has since been so rapid and successful— of the coal and iron dis-
tricts o' Virginia and West Virginia. In 1876, he read an interesting and suggestive
paper before the American Social Science Convention, on the subject of "Building As-
sociations," which attracted mucli attention. His pamphlet on "Our Fishery Rights in
the North Atlantic," published in 1888, was an exhaustive investigation of this intricate
and import4nt subject, and was received generallv as a forcible argument, and the best
statement of the American side of the fishery question. The Philadelphia Ledger
spoke of it as a "brief, pungent and able pamphlet." and the Boston Evening Tran-
script considered it "one of the most satisfactory contributions to the literature of the
fishery controversv." These studies were diversions from Mr Poran's close attention
to the details of his large and extending practice, which almost exclusively occupies
his time .tnd thoughts.
